Cabarete: Villa Taina
Hotel Villa Taina occupies a beachfront site on Cabarete Bay in Puerto Plata Province.

The town is internationally associated with kitesurfing and windsurfing, activities that have helped define its contemporary coastal culture. Beyond the beachfront, low-rise development meets palms and the wider landscape of the north coast. Villa Taina forms part of Cabarete’s central seafront, where the bay remains central to daily life.

Tucked along the Atlantic shoreline of the Dominican Republic, Cabarete is a town whose character is shaped by the trade winds that cross Cabarete Bay. The broad bay has made it an international centre for windsurfing and kitesurfing, giving the beachfront a notably active, cosmopolitan rhythm. Inland, El Choco National Park protects tropical forest, lagoons and caves, revealing terrain far removed from the coast. Cabarete lies in Puerto Plata Province, where north-coast beach towns meet the island’s greener interior.

Puerto Plata stretches from the Atlantic shoreline to the foothills of the Cordillera Septentrional, encompassing a historic port city framed by tropical slopes. Mount Isabel de Torres rises above the urban area and is reached by a cable car, while the coast includes the long Malecón seafront and beaches west of the centre. Puerto Plata developed as an important Dominican port; Fortaleza San Felipe, built by the Spanish in the 16th century, still stands beside the harbour. The city is also closely associated with Dominican amber, displayed at the Amber Museum. Find related webcams in the surrounding area to build a fuller picture of Puerto Plata.

Among the countries of the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic stands out for sharing the island of Hispaniola with Haiti while occupying its eastern two-thirds. The Cordillera Central crosses the interior and includes Pico Duarte, at 3,098 metres the highest summit in the Caribbean. Santo Domingo, the capital on the Caribbean coast, contains the Colonial City, a UNESCO World Heritage site associated with the earliest European colonial presence in the Americas. Beyond its cities, the country has Atlantic and Caribbean shores, fertile Cibao Valley farmland, and the mangroves and limestone islets of Los Haitises National Park. Merengue and bachata are central to Dominican musical life, and both are recognised by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage.
